Lung Foundation Australia is 25 years young today and we’re taking a breath to reflect on how far we’ve come since 1990.

Lung Foundation Australia CEO Heather Allan said even with the huge advances in health management in the past quarter of a century, lung disease continues to be a major issue for Australians.

“Last year, we worked with the Woolcock Institute of Medical Research to develop a report that summarised, in one place and for the first time, information about the overall prevalence, burden and impact of lung disease in Australia,” Mrs Allan said.
